Why is my trailer heater not working?

If the pilot won’t light, check to be sure you have propane. One other RV heater troubleshooting tip is: check the thermocouple.

Why does my Suburban furnace refuse to ignite?

10 ) I figure the sail switch and any limit switches are okay OTHERWISE the gas valve would never open nor would the HV create a spark. Fan runs, gas valve opens, HV ignitor throws a spark (albeit looks weak), get smell of gas out exhaust BUT THE DARN THING REFUSES TO IGNITE. I’m thinking maybe an ignitor problem?????????
